Copperhill Mountain Lodge in Åre hosts conferences of up to 500 people, weddings of up to 200 seated guests and takeovers of the whole hotel, with 112 bedrooms and 420 beds on site. It is a design hotel with a spa, at the top of Förberget in the Swedish mountains, with the ski area outside the door.
Seminars and company events
The hotel describes a 19,000 m² arena for conferences, open all year, with meeting rooms that look onto the mountains or the forest. Rooms range from a nine-seat meeting room to a hall for several hundred. The Lode covers 100 m² and seats 40 to 500, depending on the layout. Coppermine, the party room, covers 215 m² and seats 220. The Summit and the terraces cover 50 to 100 m² and seat 15 to 90. The View covers 50 m² and seats 40. Irma seats 17 in 24 m², and Nuria seats 9 in 14 m². The Fireside Lobby and the Lounger can also be booked for gatherings.
Groups can add activities on the doorstep: skiing in winter, hiking and cycling in summer, and dog sledding, snowmobile tours, climbing, ice climbing, ice sculpting and outdoor dinners by the fire. Conference packages include a 24-hour format that combines a conference, the spa and a dinner. For a group that wants privacy, a takeover closes the hotel to other guests so the group has the whole resort, including the spa.
Weddings and receptions
Couples can marry in Åre Old Church, on the large hotel terrace with a view of Åreskutan and Lake Åre, or higher up the mountain. A typical day moves from a drinks reception on the terrace to a three-course dinner in Coppermine, with space for up to 200 seated guests, then music and dancing until 2 a.m. Menus draw on mountain produce such as char, reindeer and ox fillet. For weddings above 200 people, the hotel suggests a takeover with its 34-meter ceilings and large lobby. The Villa suits a smaller wedding, with dinner, party and overnight stay for up to 16 people.
